Question

Nat says that a square is a rectangle because it has four right angles. Amy says that a square is a rhombus because it has 4 equal sides. Who is correct? Explain *

Answer 1

They are both correct in special cases of a rectangle and rhombuses

Explanation:

A square is quadrilateral, with four equal sides and four equal interior angles of 90°

A rectangle is a quadrilateral, with four equal angles which are all 90°. Therefore, a square is a special case of a rectangle with all the sides equal

A rhombus is also a equilateral quadrilateral with having equal opposite angle.

Therefore, when any of the interior angles is equal to 90°, the rhombus becomes known as a square, hence, a square is a special form of rhombus.
